Kate Williams

Jazz pianist/composer Kate Williams was born in London into a musical family (her father is the guitarist John Williams, her mother a classical pianist). A recipient of the John Dankworth Award For Talent Deserving Wider Recognition, she has gained a distinctive reputation as both a writer and performer. She has released several previous CDs, each one to critical acclaim, including Made Up (with her septet) and Smoke And Mirrors (with tenor legend Bobby Wellins). Both were in Mojo magazine's top ten jazz albums in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Kate's latest album Atlas And Vulcana is a further reflection of her colourful originality as a pianist/composer/arranger
